Working with layouts
Using layouts – an example
Importing layout symbols
By selecting another layout and selecting “Get Form” from the Functions pop-up
menu below the list, you import all Layout symbols (inserted from the Layout section in
the Symbols Inspector) from the selected layout into the current layout.
Managing layouts
• To rename a layout, select it in the list and enter the desired name in the Name field
to the right in the dialog.
Initially, a layout gets the name of one of the edited tracks – it may be a good idea
to give each layout a more informative name.
• To remove a layout you no longer need, select it in the list and select “Remove” on
the Functions pop-up menu.
• To remove all layouts for which there no longer are track combinations, select
“Clean Up” on the Functions pop-up menu.
Importing and exporting layouts
By selecting a layout and selecting “Export…” or “Import…” from the Functions pop-
up menu below the list, you can export or import a Layout. Note that all Staff settings
are taken into account, when exporting or importing a layout.
Working with Display Transpose
You can specify for each staff in a layout whether it should use Display Transpose. In
the Score Settings dialog on the Layout page, click in the D column to activate or
deactivate the option. Note that this setting affects this layout only.
Using layouts – an example
The following text outlines the basic steps for extracting a musical part from a full
score.
1. Prepare the entire score, including all formatting.
This might include inserting project layer block text for the score title, setting the
bar line type, etc.
2. Open the Score Settings dialog on the Layout page and enter the desired name in
the Name field (for example “Full Score”).
3. Close the Score Editor.
4. Open a single track, for example a woodwind part.
The Project layer settings automatically appear in the new single track layout.
5. Prepare a layout for the woodwind part.
You might for example move bar lines, add endings, activate multiple rests, etc.
• You can also import all layout symbols from the “Full Score” layout, by opening the
Score Settings dialog on the Layout page, selecting the “Full Score” layout in the
list to the left, and selecting “Get Form” from the Functions pop-up menu (see
“Importing layout symbols” on page 860).
6. Enter the desired name for the new layout in the Name field on the Layout page of
the Score Settings dialog and click “Apply”.

Be careful not to change any of the properties which are not part of the layout. This
modifies the “Full Score”, too.
